That's right. There is no viable asset protection scheme that involves
putting
your assets in another individual's name.

Really?
Here it's quite legal to place assets in another name providing the
appropriate taxes are paid during the transfer.

Sure, Alfie, you can do that anywhere, but why would you want to? You've
already paid the taxes and the other person can make off with the assets. If
you retain enough control the transfer will be disregarded. Try again, boy.
